tiktok app being deleted
TikTok is one step closer to being banned after the US Senate passed a bill that contains a measure to force its owners to sell. President Joe Biden signed the bill.
  • The Senate passed a bill that contains a TikTok ban, and President Biden signed it Wednesday.
  • But that doesn't mean TikTok will be banned in the US anytime soon. TikTok promises a legal fight.
  • At the very earliest, a ban wouldn't kick in until 2025. It could take a lot longer than that, though.

The US Senate passed a foreign-aid bill late Tuesday that contains a measure that would ban TikTok. President Joe Biden signed it on Wednesday.

Does that mean TikTok is getting closer to being banned in the US?

Absolutely.
